+/// pass live-read <c>InterpretedState.ForwardCommand</c> AFTER the style
+/// dispatch, whose <c>ApplyMotion(style)</c> state-write resets forward to
+/// Ready unconditionally (raw 0051ea6c, verbatim). Retail self-heals via
+/// register-cached entry reads (proven by the 183-case live observer trace:

+///
+/// The 183-case suite could NOT catch this: its RecordingSink's ApplyMotion
+/// return doesn't mirror the REAL <see cref="MotionTableDispatchSink"/>,
+/// which returns TRUE for the style dispatch (manager Branch 1
